    Easy Garlic Butter Spread

    We will quite often have a spaghetti dinner night. Most of the time, it is on Sundays. I can whip up a batch of Slow Cooker Homemade Spaghetti Sauce and a CopyCat Olive Garden Salad. I can have dinner ready with not much effort.

    Spaghetti dinner is not complete without our garlic bread. Making garlic bread at home is so super simple and tastes so much better than store bought. I usually grab a fresh French Loaf from the bakery at Kroger. It is super inexpensive and is always fresh. I then spread my Super Easy Garlic Butter Spread on top and broil for just a few minutes.

    Grab yourself a stick of butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and some parsley flakes. Yup…. that’s all that is needed for this recipe. Lather your butter on your favorite bread and broil.

        Thanks much for sharing it with others and dropping a rating, I appreciate it! We think it is a great spread for garlic bread My son uses the butter when making his filet mignon, it adds so much flavor.

      Making this tonight to go with spaghetti. I’ll be using some of the hot dog buns we have left over from other meals. I haven’t decided if I’m going to use minced garlic or Ground garlic. I’m sure either way it will be good. I don’t have parsley so I may add Italian seasoning instead.

      This garlic spread is everything!!! First and last recipe I’ll use for garlic spread. The store bought stuff has so many bad ingredients it’s crazy. This is simple and I can put on as much or as little as I want on my bread. The last garlic bread I’ve bought at the store they cheated me on the amount of spread they put on the bread. I didn’t make any changes to this recipe and my entire family loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!!

      Hi, I don’t have onion powder, is there anything else I could use? Or maybe I could use onions?

      Great garlic spread recipe! Used fresh powder from a local garlic grower for max garlic flavour.

      I always do garlic bread restaurant style – spread on both sides and grill both sides in a nonstick pan. Definitely makes it less healthy but it’s worth it. ;-)

        Hi Carrie! I typically use salted butter. But, either should work. I hope you enjoy!

      I just made my first garlic butter. Thank you for educating us how to do it. I tasted of it and it is wonderful. I am wondering why you chose garlic powder over garlic salt…

        I personally find garlic salt to be too…well…salty. Garlic powder gives me all of the flavor with none of the sodium. Also, if you’re using salted butter for this recipe, you don’t need to use garlic salt. I’m no expert, but those are my thoughts!

        Hi Ali!I keep a container in my fridge. It never lasts much longer than a week around here. I am sure it would stay good for quite some time if you refrigerate.

      Hi, I am interested in making this garlic bread spread cause it looks delicious!! :)

      However, I would like to use fresh garlic… How much garlic cloves should I use instead of garlic powder?

      Looking forward in hearing from you very soon :)

        I’d recommend sautéing the garlic (I think 1-2 cloves finely minced would be good – but you know how much your family loves garlic) in a little bit of the butter first til softened to take out the raw garlic taste, then adding back to the rest of the mixture to blend it all and stick back in the fridge.
